William B. Levy

William B. Levy is a Professor in the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. His research focuses on the neural bases of cognition and computational theories of brain function, utilizing theoretical neuroscience tools to model hippocampal and cortical interactions.

• Primary Appointment: Professor, Neurological Surgery
• Research Affiliation: Center for Excellence in Education & Research

Research Interests:

• Biologically realistic hippocampal modeling for cognitive tasks (transitive inference, trace conditioning, maze learning)
• Information-theoretic analysis of neural communication under energy constraints
• Development of verified software for large-scale neural network simulations

Recent Publication Trends: His work combines computational neuroscience (hippocampal modeling, synaptic dynamics) with biophysics (energy constraints, action potential efficiency) and cognitive science (memory, reasoning mechanisms).
